The alleged notes in Neil Morris Patchouli Narcisse have me completely baffled: fig and tea? What? Maybe there’s a mistake at Fragrantica (the perfume is not listed at the other sites). Why in the world would a perfumer name a perfume so literally and then leave both of the literal referents out of the composition?
My confusion is not based solely on logic. This perfume smacks of dark, 1980s style (think Calvin Klein Obsession) orientals. It is also about the same color as those compositions. There is clearly patchouli and some sort of flower here, although I do not identify it as narcissus necessarily. Come to think of it, this may bear similarities as well to Caron Narcisse Noir.
Patchouli Narcisse definitely has an old school brothel-feeling to it. Not that I’ve spent any time in brothels, mind you, but you get the drift: a heavy, dark, come hither elixir…
This perfume also reminds me of one of the old discontinued Micallefs which I found at a discount emporium for a tiny fraction of that house’s current offerings. Strangely, this creation appears to date from 2011. I’m going to go look at the Neil Morris website and see what I can find. Back in a jiffy…
Okay, I’m back. I found nothing else but the same blurb virally repeated here and there and everywhere–mainly because there are now so many different versions of Fragrantica! Asia, Poland, Brasil, Germany, Spain, the list goes on and on…. (no France yet, regrettably…).
This perfume appears to have been a limited edition and is not even listed in the Neil Morris “vault”, so I gather that it is no longer available. I did a side-by-side comparison with Caron Narcisse Noir and found that the Caron has a lot more narcissus and zero patchouli. The Neil Morris composition has a lot more brown orientalia (above all, patchouli, but it also smells a bit dirty and ambery), and much less florality. This creation is fully unisex. I wonder why it’s gone already?

For me it is flowered black tea, strong and chilly and making me blissful. I get some woodsy and earty notes too. The sillage is like a dark silk scarf wraping and playing round my neck. It gives that wonderful tea-like feeling of moisture which I love so much about this frag.
